“Ji Won, son…this is getting to
be very tiring. Every few weeks you would run
away, leaving me and your mother worrying about
you.”
Ji Won smirked. “Sure you’re worried. That’s
why you’re out with those hoes and mom’s out
with those morons. It’s because I’m your only
son. You’re just scared that when grandpa passes away
he won’t put our family on the will.”
His father got angry. “Well do you want
it to end up on your uncle’s side?”
Ji Won gave his dad a look that showed he didn’t
care. His dad continued talking. “Since
I managed to have a son and my brother have
no kids, I have the advantage. Son, listen to
me. You know you’re my heir. All my wealth
will be pass down to you.”
Ji Won looked at his dad disgusted. “All you care
about is money! You don’t care about me!”
he yelled as he stormed out of the den. Ji Won
slammed the door open and grabbed my hand.“Come
on, let’s go.”
I was confused and didn’t know what had
happened. Ji Won held my hand and took me to
the beach near his house. On the sand there
were these 2 huge rocks. Ji Won led me over
there. He lifted me up and we sat side by side.
We remained silent until Ji Won took a deep
breath of the ocean air.
“I love this place, don’t you?”
he said to me smiling.
I returned his smile and held onto his hand
tighter. “Ji Won, what’s wrong?”
Ji Won avoided my eyes.
“Nothing.”
I turned his chin to face me. “Come
on, you know you can tell me.”
He nodded.
“It’s my dad and this stupid feud
he has with my uncle. They’re fighting
over who will get the larger part in my grandpa’s
will.”
“Oh…” I said softly.
“Isn’t it stupid?” he asked
laughing. “My grandpa’s not even
dead yet!”
I understood what was bothering him. So I didn’t
say anything because I know he doesn’t
want me to worry about it. He threw a rock into
the ocean and it skipped three times.
